Excellent, very helpful. I will have to wait since it is $149.00, but that is where I need to go to get the updates. Thank you very much!!
A GPS unit (Garmin, Uconnect Nav, etc) will always be out of date. They’re point in time snapshots. I only use my Nav if I don’t have cell service.Thanks I appreciate that. I might just by a Garmin or something then to attach to the corner of the windshield. That would be easier for me than trying to look at my phone while driving.
Why not plug the phone in and let it display on the UConnect? No need to look at the phone, but still get the benefit of the maps being current.Thanks I appreciate that. I might just by a Garmin or something then to attach to the corner of the windshield. That would be easier for me than trying to look at my phone while driving.
For me nothing beats the built in Nav, nothing to hold or stick on the windshield. (EVERY map system, including what's on your smartphone, is somewhat outdated)... just my $0.05 worthThanks I appreciate that.

Google Maps over Android Auto destroys the built in Nav for accuracy, routing and POI, it's not even debatable. The only slight drawback is it only displays in a 1/2 card on the 12" display instead of using the full screen but the layout in full screen for the factory Nav isn't anything to write home about either. I usually have Plex running through AA and the song displays with reverse, pause, forward buttons on the lower 1/2 card with Maps in the top anyway.For me nothing beats the built in Nav, nothing to hold or stick on the windshield.

No debating, just prefer less clutter, moving pieces.Google Maps over Android Auto destroys the built in Nav for accuracy, routing and POI, it's not even debatable.

ETA, there was a discounted $99 offer that was good through May 31 for the factory Nav update, they seem to offer that a couple times a year so if you really feel like updating the factory Nav wait for another of those offers to roll out.
